I've been into various flight simulators since I was a kid. This looks super cool, but I have always been disappointed by how much more effort it seems like goes into pretty graphics than realistic flying (including detailed and realis

Ever get any of that Seattle FilmWorks film? Not C41 process, but people didn't understand that, and I learned it the hard way myself when I first started working at a lab. I had some really frustrating conversations with customers who

This is absolutely true, but it's not unique to Apple Maps. I've had an issue with the major road near my house in Google Maps for over three years, where it thinks a certain stretch is either absent or impassible. It shows it on

I would not be a fan of not having a charging port, but I Qi charge my phone in the car every day. It's fine. One of my cars has it built-in to the armrest, and in another I have a third-party mount with an integrated Qi charger.

I have been using FreeBSD for its better ZFS support for years, and it's great. Highly recommended.

I know this isn't an option for everyone, but this is part of why I run FreeBSD instead of Linux for servers where I need ZFS.

I would characterize this more as a fight for revenue maximization than passenger comfort, at least within the US for domestic flights. I fly premium classes quite a bit, and spend a lot of time in lounges. My experience is that a lot of th

The people who don't want rapid growth are the people who have experienced it. The people who do want growth are the ones who haven't experienced it. This seems unlikely to be a coincidence.

I mean, yeah. This sounds great on paper. I will be interested to see how it plays out in the real world. So many of these things that are supposed to lower barriers to entry and give access to less advantaged players seem to instead get ex

Maybe it's just an irrational, emotion-based response, but I really prefer to order delivery from bricks and mortar restaurants I know and can walk into, and where it feels like they have a strong stake in their long-term reputation.

If a piece of technology is "almost always" misused, is that the fault of the users, or the technology?

I agree with a lot of this, but I have not worked ANYWHERE that a high level IC engineer doesn't get paid more than a first level manager. As a manager myself, until I got quite senior, I always had more than one person on my team who

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite, I don't want to read books on any other electronic device, and I totally agree that it's in a weird spot, and I am afraid for its future. But I don't agree with the author that the lack

I'm not a normal Firefox user — I usually use Chrome and Safari side-by-side. So I decided to give FF another try with this release, and I agree that the scrolling performance is noticeably worse in FF than Safari and Chrome on the sam

The best large-scale buffet option I've seen is how they do it at AWS re:Invent (at least last time I was there a few years ago). They have a large number of identical buffet stations, with catering employees directing attendees on whi

This is the thing that always drives cognitive dissonance for me. Computer professionals know how buggy and unreliable computers are more than anyone else in the world, so why would we want to actually drive a computer and put our (and othe

I dislike Agile, but let's not operate under the assumption that removing or changing the process is going to stop "the business" from wanting more features, faster. There is no process that will make that go away.

I don't think wirecutter really even tries to identify the best, because they factor price into the equation too much for that. I do find it to be a good source of data about some of the options and tradeoffs, but when I'm looking
